Thursday, Oct. 10, 3-5 p.m.
Day in the Life of the Mohawk River:
A state-wide, one-day, field-based community science program to assess and create a snapshot of the current health of the Hudson and Mohawk River watersheds. The Schoharie River Center will be joining the DEC and other community organizations across the state for a day of water quality testing along the Mohawk watershed.
Students and community members are welcome to join the SRC as we test the water from the creek in Central Park. We will conduct a Bio-Assessment (collect and catalogue what macro-invertebrate life is present in the water), and a set of basic water chemestries (Testing the water for pH, Alkalinity, Dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity, Conductivity, Nitrate – Nitrogen, and Orthophosphate). Learn the methods, and help collect significant data that will be reported back to the NY State DEC.
For questions and more information on how you or students can get involved, please reach out to us by phone (518-875-6230) or email ([email protected]).
